American Idol judge Randy Jackson considers launching a range of handbags

The 'American Idol' judge - who rarely ventures away from his signature style of shirts, trousers and glasses - reportedly held a business meeting at the W Los Angeles - Westwood hotel to discuss creating a line of women's accessories.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Randy met with a PR agency to discuss how to market a new line of handbags, but he had to cut the meeting short to film 'Idol'."

Randy - who will have a six-month break once the current series of 'American Idol' finishes - is not the first celebrity to venture into women's accessories.

In July last year, Mischa Barton created a line of 14 handbags for online retailer ASOS.com, while Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie designed her own range for Kipling.

Gwen Stefani's fashion range L.A.M.B. has several handbags, with one of the best-selling being the Kingston, which is named after her three-year-old son with husband Gavin Rossdale.
